Is this okay deal? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

mrhandle · 06-14-2017, 12:27 AM

2013 BRZ LIMITED GSB
Automatic
28000 Mileages
One owner with Clean car fax (the car has been regularly well maintained on an official Subaru dealership)
Just a little scratches here and there on an exterior
No modifications at all
$18,900 before TTL and price is absolutely no negotiable
I live in GA by the way

I'd always wanted to get the GSB but couldn't really find one especially with the manual transmission so I have no choice but to go with an Automatic.

It looks somewhat good to me. Should I just go with it? What do you guys think?

KBB says no.

Do you want the color or the transmission more? I'd say go with a manual since that's something you'll be actually interacting with.

It took me 6 + months to find the car I wanted, get the manual, this car was made for the driver to be in control. Source: Have manual.

Looked for pre-owned manual but none in my color near me. Looked for new, then it happened. 2017 Series.Yellow followed me home. First Subaru, first yellow car. Going to upgrade tires and do a few mods. Happy hunting. Recommend getting a manual transmission, you'll regret settling...

definitely definitely get a manual

Pass.

Don't do it. I bought my last car automatic when I really wanted a manual and thought I'd be okay with it but once the honeymoon phase was over the regret crept in and never went away. I test drove an automatic FRS a little over a year ago and it was not as much fun to drive as my manual BRZ. I took my time waiting for the right car to come up, months. I wanted a manual CWP BRZ and now that I finally got it I can't imagine having settled for anything else.

Wait for the car you want. You will regret it if you don't.

That's not a very good deal from what I've been seeing. Expand your range and don't be afraid to make a day's drive to get the car you really want.

Out the door that will be over $20k with taxes and such. Definite PASS on a 2013 for that much.

Patience. Wait for a manual

The 2013-2014 silver is elegant. Same with the pearl white. Not bad second choices.

It's a tad bit high for an auto. But like others said if you want a manual, wait till a manual pops up.
